Hello! I’m Rachael, and I’m so happy you’re here! I’m a classically trained, Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher, specializing in sports-specific and pre/postnatal Pilates. Sharing my passion as a Pilates Educator is what I love most—teaching teachers truly lights me up, and I’m committed to providing the very best continuing education for my amazing team.

I hold a B.A. from Chapman University in Southern California and started my career in corporate sales. After years of intense travel and long hours, I found myself burned out and landed in a Pilates studio to recharge. By 2013, I’d left the corporate grind behind and jumped full-time into fitness—trading burnout for balance, but keeping the travel! Now, I get to blend my love of Pilates and adventure by hosting Pilates retreats around the world.

In 2023, I became the owner of Body Precision, the first Pilates studio on the Main Line and a true pillar of Pilates excellence since 1995. It’s an honor to carry on its legacy, and I’m thrilled to bring this level of top-tier Pilates to my hometown with the Pilates Collective.

When I’m not fully immersed in Pilates, you’ll find me with family and friends, enjoying too much coffee, keeping up with my spirited toddler and sweet, funny second grader, or coaching Methacton Warriors Youth Cheerleading.

Pilates is transformative — it’ll make you feel incredible! Come experience why Pilates has stood the test of time for nearly a century. I can’t wait to see you in the studio!

Work with Rachael

Outside of Pilates, Angela enjoys yoga, long walks with a great podcast, and partner dancing - she competes in West Coast Swing dancing on the weekends! If she weren’t teaching Pilates, she’d be in a European café, enjoying a glass of wine.

Meet Ari! Ari fell in love with Pilates in middle school, following mat videos with her mom, and recently completed her 500-hour Club Pilates Comprehensive Certification. She’s drawn to the reformer for its versatility and creativity - but her all-time favorite move is jackknife on the mat. Her classes are all about helping you leave feeling strong and confident—in both body and mind. Ari’s mantra? “Each day is different, so appreciate and love every changing version of yourself.” Expect a little ABBA in the mix!

Outside of Pilates, Ari enjoys long walks (with proper sun protection), playing with her dog and cat, and knitting cozy sweaters.

Meet Audrey! Audrey has been practicing Pilates for over 15 years and teaching for five, with a focus on injury recovery and prevention for dancers and athletes. Certified through the renowned Drexel Pilates Program, her passion for movement comes from her lifelong love affair with dance, and she enjoys helping others discover the power of their mind-body connection. Her favorite apparatuses? The Chair for Pullups and the Reformer for Tendon Stretch.

Audrey loves teaching beginners, focusing on breath and helping clients discover something new about their bodies. When she's not teaching Pilates, Audrey is a professional dancer, singer, and actor.

Guided by her mantra, “Move with purpose, live with grace, and empower every moment,” Brooke's classes are powered by a playlist of 2000s Pop Hits. She also hosts mini Women's Wellness Retreats and just returned from a Pilates retreat in Costa Rica. When she's not teaching, Brooke loves to travel - and if she weren't a Pilates instructor, she might just be a flight attendant! Fun fact: she once made a cameo on America’s Funniest Home Videos during a “Grease Lightning” dance competition!

Meet Francie, an ardent advocate for holistic health and mindful movement with over 20 years of experience in the wellness world. Despite her demanding pharmaceutical consulting job, she dedicates nights and weekends to her passion: Pilates and movement.

Francie's playlist depends on her mood, but her go-to station is Buddha Bar, a famous Paris venue she visited in the 90s, known for its cool, instrumental music with no lyrics. When she's not teaching, you can find Francie traveling the world in search of her next incredible adventure.

Meet Jenny, a Pilates instructor who’s been hooked on the practice for 7 years, thanks to a little push from big sis Rachael (yes, you read that right!) and is certified through the renowned Body Precision Teacher Program. Jenny loves the versatility of Pilates - whether it’s helping you feel strong, flexible, or pain-free, it’s the workout that never bores her. Her favorite apparatus? The Cadillac - think of it as an adult jungle gym, and she’s all about flipping, hanging, and being upside down.

With a special fondness for pre/postnatal Pilates (which helped her feel strong again after 3 babies in 4 years), she’s passionate about making every class fun but tough, leaving you feeling like a true queen (or king!). Her go-to playlist? A mashup of 90’s and 2000’s pop, hip hop, emo, country, and a dash of T Swift - basically anything that matches her energetic, fun-loving personality. When she’s not teaching, Jenny is likely walking, lifting weights, coaching cheerleading, or chasing her inner adrenaline junkie.

Meet Jolena!

After burning out from years of weightlifting and a short-lived attempt at long-distance running, Jolena found her way to Pilates - and never looked back. With a deep love for classical Pilates and a curiosity for contemporary movement, she’s drawn to the method for its sustainability, inclusivity, and ability to evolve alongside the body.

Jolena has began teaching at the end of 2025 and is currently working through the Body Precision Comprehensive Certification. She is especially fond of the Reformer - where her practice began - and anything involving feet in straps (short spine included… chef’s kiss).

Her goal in every class is simple: for clients to leave feeling capable, resilient, and worthy of thoughtful, intentional movement. Her mantra? Move with intention, on and off the reformer.

Outside the studio, Jolena balances life as a financial analyst, baker of sweet treats, romantasy reader, dog-walk enthusiast (with her pup, Tobi), golfer in the warmer months, and snowboarder when the mountains call. She also loves to travel and has taken Pilates classes around the world—including an unforgettable class in Rome, taught entirely in Italian.

Expect upbeat pop playlists, positive energy, and movement that meets you where you are.

Libby lives by the quote, “There is no path to happiness, happiness is the path,” and channels that energy into her classes with a mix of 90s pop and punk rock. When she's not teaching Pilates, Libby is a wedding/event florist, enjoys walking and biking, and loves spending time gardening, picking flowers, and baking bread.

Her favorite apparatus is the Cadillac, especially for its fun acrobatic exercises and lower back/spine stretches.

Specializing in working with dancers and athletes, Meghan creates a safe space where clients can show up with whatever they have to give.

When she’s not teaching, she enjoys hiking, flatwater kayaking, and has completed 20+ Spartan Races! Her motivational mantra, “DNFQ!” (Do not ‘freakin’ quit!), is a reminder that our minds quit before our bodies do—one she’s relied on during long hikes and races.

Meet Tina! Tina discovered Pilates the summer before her daughter left for college, looking for something meaningful to fill the time she once spent cheering on the sidelines of high-school sports. She fell in love with the practice instantly and earned her first certification in 2020. Today, she holds certifications from IMX Pilates, a 500-hour certification from Club Pilates, and training in the Pilates Suspension Method.

A Tower superfan, Tina loves how it challenges the body in new ways while building strength, balance, and flexibility. In her classes, she hopes every client feels supported and energized—because to her, Pilates truly is for everyone. Her class vibe? Country playlists and the reminder: “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

Outside the studio, she stays active biking, hiking, strength training, and walking her dog. And a fun fact: she’s worked at Merck for 34 years—most people are surprised she doesn’t teach Pilates full-time!
